Hamburg

It's bitterly cold in Hamburg these days. I go outside and look for some firewood that our former neighbor left us as a farewell present. Now I´m sitting in front of the fireplace. I pour myself a glass of wine and think of our lovely Brazilian neighbors, who unfortunately had to move back to Rio after Christmas. I miss the laughter and happiness they brought to our house.
The other day my father told me that a friend of his went to Hamburg by train and the friend was confused that he barely heard German on the train. He most likely meant that there are too many foreigners in the city now.
We city-dwellers are maybe more used to people from other countries and it might be a surprise for people from the countryside watching and listening to all the different voices. But I think the more or less hidden refusal from these people against immigration is wrong. (rethink this sentence) but here is a suggestion : But I think people that refuse to accept immigrants are wrong. 
Apart from the very few who think evil and carry hate in their hearts I wanna consider register wanna - informal/spoken or want to - more formal/written welcome all students and people from all over the world trying to learn German. You are an enrichment to my country !
While I´m drinking wine by the fireplace I send a selfie of myself sitting there by whatsapp to my neighbors in Rio and thank them for the firewood. You need to know that in Rio the temperatures are very high these days. My friends answer me by saying they will turn the aircon down and share a glass of wine with me.

Advice :

Watch use of tenses - eg I am sitting in front of a fireplace (is present continuous) - it's happening RIGHT now/recently, and I am pouring myself a glass of wine.  

Keep it consistent!
